The Forbidden Hangover.

I hoped to touch readers with this story. I hoped they’d give it a chance, but I was prepared that maybe many wouldn’t. I never anticipated I would get this kind of reaction. The love and acceptance of THE FORBIDDEN has truly floored me. I’m being inundated with messages from women who have read it and totally get it. Messages from women who said they would never have picked it up had they known what the forbidden was, but are so glad that they did. Women who were adamant about their feelings on the subject matter, but now are looking at it in a different light. Apparently, I’m leaving many book hangovers in my wake, and I can’t be sorry for that. THE FORBIDDEN was never going to be an easy read. It definitely wasn’t easy to write. And it most certainly wasn’t easy to send it out into the world. Thank you for embracing it. 

So if you loved Jack & Annie’s story, please share it with your friends. I stepped outside of my comfort zone, and I want as many women as possible to read a different side of something that is traditionally deemed unacceptable.

I believe in my words, and I’m so happy many of you do, too.

Thank you so, SO much <3

  1. LOVED IT!
    Was disappointed that there was no epilogue, but maybe you’ll continue Jack and Annie’s story?!?! 😉

    1. Thank you! I never say never. It’s bitten me on the arse too many times before.But for now, that is their story <3 So glad you loved it!

  2. Hi Jodi, I’m savouring Jack and Annie’s story, trying hard not to rush through, the first reading is always the one you remember when the story is this powerful… I think Jack rivals Jesse and I never thought anyone would… honestly! the intensity of the connection between Jack & Annie is every bit as powerful as Jesse & Ava to my mind… Well done Jodi… I’ll return to you when I have actually finished The Forbidden but for now I am relishing every chapter, Thank you xx

  3. I read “Forbidden” in one sitting and I Loved It!!! Being the “other” woman is so sordid by today’s standards, but you conveyed Annie as someone who fell in love with her soul mate regardless of the consequences. Thank you for such a wonderful story.

  4. I loved Jack and Annie’s story. I went into this not knowing the story line. You are an automatic “one-click” for me. (This Man series is one of my all time favs). I believe that life puts you on certain paths. The path may be the right one or it may be treacherous path that saves you. I think you showed us the story of Jack and Annie happens every day somewhere. I woul love the see an epilogue… just saying ????

  5. Definitely brings new light to a sensitive subject. So glad you stepped out of your comfort zone. I am ready for my reread

  6. I absolutely fell in love with Jack’s & Annie. I read The Forbidden in one sitting- 8 hours, could not put it down, then started it again the next day. The teaser chapter at the end in Jack’s perspective- I need more! Would love to dive into Jack’s said of the story. Their chemistry, their connection…I can’t get enough. Thank you for writing this story.

  7. Sincerely, I was surprised when I realized what was the story about, why he was “Forbidden”, and I was curious about how would you develop it. You have done amazingly! You truly make me feel their energy, their intensity, it was impossible don’t understand why they can’t just walked away.
    I started reading this amazing story Sunday 11pm and I couldn’t sleep so I read until Monday morning, and I just finished! I am totally in love with then.
    I was wondering if are you thinking and give us one more book with them?
    I just love you stories! You are definitely an extraordinary writer!???

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely message! I’m so pleased you loved their story, but I truly feel that it has now been told. I have so many more tales to tell 🙂 x

  8. My First JEM read…Excellent story.. I followed on and got invested in all other JEM books.. Reading Gentleman Sinner twice and This Man series.. sooo many times.. Re reading The Forbidden again.. Love their story… and the timing of life and where it has taken them both.. Really hope to have more of their story … Their future and if their past came back to haunt their new life !

  9. I absolutely adored this story! I wish there was more even just an epilogue to see if they get everything they want! I need more!
